SELF-OPTIMIZING DEPLOYMENT OF DECOUPLED THREAT MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS WITHIN CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract: a threat management application is decoupled into a backend tier deployed at a regional compute resource of a cloud environment and a frontend tier deployed at one or more local compute resources of the cloud environment. a threat lookup request is routed from an endpoint to a frontend tier deployed at a respective local compute resource. the frontend tier determines if a local threat response is available within a cache of the respective local compute resource. if the local threat response is available, the local threat response is provided to the endpoint. if the local threat response is not available, the threat lookup request is forwarded from the respective local compute resource to the backend tier deployed at the regional compute resource.
